2017 IPA Pro Cup Finals (Best-of-Seven)

Game Six at Kraft Stadium in Eastshore

Hansen Wins Again, Elegants Force 7th Game
The defending Pro Cup champion Eastshore are not going to go quietly... the Elegants rapped two homers and got another great outing by Bix Hanson to whip underdog Turon 7-3 in game six of the IPA Pro Cup Finals, tying up the series at 3-3 and forcing a seventh-and-deciding game... Hansen (4-0) racked up his fourth successive playoff complete-game victory... Hansen struck out 10 and scattered 9 hits and didn't let 4 errors behind him bother him... CF Larry Lowe went 3-for-4 with a homer and 2 RBIs and 3B George Alford had 2 hits, including a roundtripper and 3 RBIs for the winning Elegants... It was Alford's 4th postseason clout and Lowe's second... Ted Farentino was ineffective for Turon and lost it... he was battered hard for 7 runs and 9 hits in 6 innings... Farentino was 1-3 in the postseason, but had a fine 2.97 ERA... this was his only bad start... Eastshore outhit the Typhoons 10-9... the Elegants led 3-1 after the opening inning, 5-1 after three and 7-1 after six... Turon finally got 2 more off of Hansen in the ninth, but it was too late then... Turon was led by 1B Clyde Kingsford with 2 RBIs and 3B Mickey O'Malley with 3 hits... RF Dominick DiCaprio got the other RBI... the game-seven finale is tomorrow at Kraft Stadium in Eastshore.
